Tarot Card Story

The fool feels its time to retreat after a long busy lifetime of building, creating, hating, fighting, failing, and succeeding. Hiding, reading, cleaning, organizing, resting in a small home deep in the forest, he heads out every night, traveling across the landscape. Carrying only a staff and lantern. During these walks from night till morning, examining his life and things hes missed during his lifetime. As he walks, animals and insects, flowers and plants light up and are seem from his lantern and the moonlight light. He notices that he has illuminated hidden areas of his mind. The Hermit, illuminated from within, capable of penetrating darkness with light.

Tarot Card Meaning

Hermit is represented by Virgo. Introspection, analysis, and virginity is what the Hermit card represents. This card indicates a desire for peace and solitude. There is no time for socializing, but time to think, ruminate, and organize. There may be times when feelings of frustration and discontent are apparent, but these times lead to clarity, illumination and enlightenment. Hermit individuals are inspirational and wise friends. Like a therapist. Things that use to be confusing and previously mysterious are now clear as Hermits can help querents understand themselves and things around them.

Tarot Card Thirteen Observations

The Hermit almost always seems to be shown on the move. Never hidden, he is out searching and wandering. Analyzing, making connections and gathering information is on the Virgos mind. Virgos are known for being zodiac skeptics. Virgos will be the ones in a dark place with a lantern examining dark places in depth. The desire to be alone, indicates a feeling of impatience with people. This quiet time allows everything to fall into place, just as an artist hides away then paints a masterpiece. They can see things they werent able to see before. Take late night drives, long walks, vacations for then you will have a new understand of this world.
